Yes, I am getting problems with your site when using a Mac both in Safari and Firefox. Next to the links on the left 'free flash templates' is also showing in orange.

Is anyone still uploading here? Ive tried but cant add categories using a Mac and the login page will not work on my PC. Ive sent several emails to support but no one appears to know the answer. Id be interested to know if the site is working for other members.

I have the same questions as helix7 and why do we need to submit our contact details again? You already have them!

Edit:

Oh you answered before I asked!

shank_ali I dont think its right to flag other photographers work here without their knowledge. He is also a member of this forum.

I just wonder how exclusive, exclusive would be if a significant numbers do turn exclusive. For us that is.  ;)

Well thats good Sandralise, but the owners appear to have disappeared from the site. Nothing from them for months and questions asked in the forum and chat but no reply!

113
Just wondering...how long before they make a bid for Shutterstock?

114
So what is best...to continue to upload to StockXpert or to wait to see what happens?

Similar situation for me files sitting in the pending folder for weeks and then today a blanket rejection. Many of the pictures submitted had already been accepted into Fotolia who are not exactly known for their ease of acceptance, but at least they can back up their policy with sales.

I think enough is enoughits all just words Josh.

Seren, Im not sure where you are going with all of this, but you are not helping yourself. There are many people in this world with a real reason to be fed up you not wanting to help others is not in my opinion worthy of our consideration.

Shutterstocks acceptance policy is Im sure based on good business practice, your attitude to others isnt.

General Stock Discussion / Alamy - Microstock
« on: June 12, 2008, 11:26 »
I've just received this email...any views!

..............................
Earlier this week we released details on the Alamy blog of the first
initiative that will be launched under the Novel Use scheme.
This is called 'Limited Use' with prices starting from around $1 and
restricted to a defined set of usages.

Limited Use was devised to enable Alamy contributors to compete in
the fast moving micropayment sector without devaluing their existing
sales at the higher end of the market. This level of pricing may come
as a shock to some of you, however we think it would be counterproductive
to try to sell at a higher price than the established players in this
market. If the customer groups that we have identified are paying for
photography (and we won't know until we try it for ourselves), it is
highly unlikely that they are paying more than micropayment prices.

The comments section of the blog was dominated by concerns that
Limited Use is microstock by another name. We have responded to
these concerns by enabling contributors who previously opted into
Novel Use to opt out of the scheme if they wish (details at the
end of this note).

Before you reach for the opt out button please consider the following
facts about this scheme:

- We have not lost our minds!

- Alamy Limited Use is not the same as microstock.

- Microstock images are available to all buyers of stock photography.

- Alamy Limited Use restricts usage to three types of user - teachers,
students, and bloggers - none of whom feature in our customer base.

- This is not the beginning of a shift towards universally low prices
at Alamy. It is not in our interests to slash prices of our conventional
business to microstock levels, but nevertheless we think that we have
something to offer this market. In 2007 the market leader in microstock
generated over $70m in revenue and is projected to achieve over $120m
this year. This business model is here to stay and we are leaving
money on the table by not taking the opportunity to compete with them
in some areas.
